Order the Michael Caine films by year of release. You place all 44 cards on one timeline, one at a time. Three wrong guesses ends the run.
Michael Caine's filmography is long, and every card here shows one of his films along with its director. You put them in release order. One film is down at the start, year visible. You draw cards one at a time and slot each into a gap before, between or after the others. A correct slot reveals the year; a wrong slot still sends the film to its true position and costs one of three lives.
He was famously prolific and took almost any part offered, so the deck mixes classic spy, war and crime films and sharp comedies with some notorious misfires, plus a long run as a trusted supporting player. One director appears on a large share of the cards, so that name narrows things less than you'd hope. The stretch full of films he made for the paycheck is where placing gets genuinely hard.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
Here are 28 of the 44 cards you might be dealt, with 16 more in the deck. Their values stay hidden until you place them.
